hoeaiind 10 undoubtedly the most thoroughly
satisfylng OF all her assumptions. In it she
enters most completely into the spirit of what
she 10 depicting; there is q freshness and 4
rennement. careful thought and a striving
si'er an IDEAL that is neither shallow nor
superncially pleasing, where these qualities
might easily be made an all sufficient aim
!ntelilgent throughout, her acting is marked
IN this by much genialty, frank impuls,ve.
ness, and an exquisite sympathy, with the
motives and play of feelings Of the spirituelle
hosalind. Miss Ma,hers personality, her
charm OF face and feature stand
| her in excellent stead for the physi-
cal requirements of the part, and invest
the character with the outward charm that has
always been found a necessary sccompani-
ment for Rosalind's depicting Mr.. Mines

his nrst appearance in the second act were
marked with notable expressiveness and ap.
proprlateness of voice and bgesture, and re-
celved hearty applause. Mr. Paulding's

OF acting. and one of the most successful that
ne mas shown here, IN ito variety, grace and
ease IN the most excellent taste always, and
In many passages full of warm and tender vi

fouchstone, which he performed in the main
with much humor and in vein that was well
In consonance with the spirit of the character,
self restrained and kept free from vulgarity.
MISS Jean Harold was scarcely satisfying.
| There was little color or force in her acting
and at times even little intellig 4nce. The
general spirit of the performance, however,
was excellently sustained bv the principals,
and 1t was vigorous performance, with much
movement and spirit.
